These hit a good price point for those wanting amps around $1k to $1500. But those small power supplies leave me thinking current drive will not be good for all types of speakers. Instead I would suggest a Thomas & Stereo A75 amp at $1500 (USD), a Benchmark AHB2 at $3500 (USD), or maybe even an Orchard Audio Starkrimson Duo at $1800 (USD). Yes, they cost more but I think you get more amp for the money.
I have very sensitive (>95dB) open baffles that can be driven even with a 2.5W tube amp. I really fancy getting a pair of these, but am wondering if they would be too powerful and leave me with a very limited range on my preamp volume control. Would using the lower gain help, do you think? BTW, Srboljub at iiWi reviews on RUclips very much agrees with you and also plans to use them for reference purposes in his main system.
Have had these for about 1 month now and the B200 has many good qualities in terms of sound but lacks some energy. Never get the feeling that I have the artists present when I turn up the volume. These are more analytical. A shame as there are a lot of good things about them. I strongly doubt that these hold 200w in 8 ohms, it doesn't sound like that.
Ive become less inclined to buy any higher priced electrical items from Chinese manufacturers, it may seem you get vfm but once things go wrong then your pretty much on your own trying to get it repaied, even under warranty unless you have a good dealer network in your country
How can an amplifier have the same watts under different loads, its obvious looking at the numbers that the power supply is total junk and amp would lack any sort of grunt at difficult loads and frequencies
Please keep comments civil. Comments with links will be removed.

I recommend trying the B200s with their own Pre 90 preamp.
We appreciate it, thank you so much!😊
Any time!

hi, may I know what's the 12V trigger for? how it works?

Thanks, I don´t really like the gold feet. Can you remove (unscrew) and replace these? 😊
Well I have already sent these back. Sorry
Ok 😊

Just think of bi-amping b200 with b100's on the upper.
I secretly want two of them ……
Right now 😂

why did they not provide an RCA input...what an idiot design
I wondered the same exact thing
